Grievance and Disciplinary Support

Businesses and employees have to follow the ACAS Code of Practice in nearly every grievance and disciplinary situation, whether you are a small family business or a multinational corporation.

We have many years' experience producing designing disciplinary and grievance policies and procedures to meet our client's needs and resources as well as advising on their application.

Dealing with employee misconduct in the workplace

As an employer you may have to investigate an allegation of misconduct or have received a grievance or complaint from an employee. The ACAS Code applies a minimum practice standard you should follow when considering disciplinary or grievance issues and it is important it is followed as best you can. Ideally your grievance and disciplinary procedures should be tailored to your business and staffing resources.

We can guide you through the whole process, including investigations, hearings and help with any appeals. Dealing with disciplinary and grievance issues promptly and effectively will greatly reduce the risk of further legal action being brought against your business.

If you are faced with an issue that requires investigating, you must ensure that everyone involved complies with the minimum ACAS Code as failure to do so could lead to an Employment Tribunal increasing compensation by up to 25%. This could result in a substantial increase particularly if a claim involves an element of discrimination or harassment.
